Soundgarden released a career-spanning box set last year in the form of Echo of Miles: Scattered Tracks Across the Path. Now the band is planning a deluxe, vinyl edition of the release, which will be available May 19. Guitarist Kim Thayil put together the box set that includes originals, covers and rare demos.
Thayil told Rolling Stone that the group was adamant about getting its debut, Superunknown, put out on vinyl back in 1994.
"By the time Superunknown came out, the record company was hesitant to put out vinyl, and we were like, 'No, no. We're vinyl guys. This is the way we came up. We've got to release Superunknown on vinyl. So, of course, it's a double-album and so is Down on the Upside and King Animal," he said.
Like the CD version, Echo of Miles contains cuts that are hard to find. Soundgarden recorded covers of songs by The Beatles, Sly and the Family Stone and Black Sabbath over the years. The material will be separated into three categories - originals, covers and "oddities." The latter double album includes instrumentals, demos and remixes (Moby, Dub and Steve Fisk all reworked Soundgarden tunes).
